Michael* Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Some nice best-of-the-year choices so far. I'll post mine shortly too. And since it's customary to hear Sleigh Bells in mid-to-late December... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 ^Yay, I heard this on the radio this morning Thats a good thing no? I still get giddy whenever I discover new finds If you plan to listen to "The Antlers" I suggest you start off with "Hospice" The album as a whole is utterly brilliant in my opinion and simply drift away blissfully. The best song to demonstrate that being "Bear" Thanks for sharing - I like it a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbot Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Some new Radiohead Two leftovers from Radiohead's recordings for The King Of Limbs have found their way online. The tracks are said to feature on the band's recently filmed From The Basement session, which will be released early next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_ed Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Any particular opinion on Wild Things, M*? I haven't had the chance to sit down and listen to it properly (it's such a soft, delicate album and I'm always listening on a noisy bus <_<) but I had the feeling they couldn't have done too badly given the how epic Two Dancers was.

Michael* Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Any particular opinion on Wild Things, M*? I haven't had the chance to sit down and listen to it properly (it's such a soft, delicate album and I'm always listening on a noisy bus <_<) but I had the feeling they couldn't have done too badly given the how epic Two Dancers was. I'd say 'Two Dancers' is maybe 5% more of a masterpiece but generally, I think 'Smother' stacks up pretty well - quite different hearing Hayden and Tom singing in harmony when they usually trade off vocals. Both albums were criminally under-appreciated though, as is the band in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 01. Beach House - Teen DreamI half-jokingly called this my album of 2010 way back in January and not only have I not heard anything that tops it, I'm still obsessed with it almost a full year later. I'd even go so far as to say that it's become an all-time favourite. You did it again 99% sure that I've just heard my album of 2011. Marry me, Anna Calvi! Puts a lot of pressure on January 2012 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 There's a few albums due out this month that I'm quite looking forward to, though I'll be surprised if lightning strikes three times. No pressure, January 2012... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Tombale Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 girl from the previous vid sings this song, too:and as versatile as she is:though the latter is from 2010 already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 seriously, this is the better version:Dunno about better, but it's a pretty good version (Y)Girl's got a good voice, but she sounds a little generic to me <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_ed Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 seriously, this is the better version: That was awesome! Thanks for posting. For me, the only drawback was the guy that sang the first verse. I don't think he captured the emotion of the song very well, but he still did a decent job.

vaishali1010 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have never experienced anything like when I listen to The Weeknd's song. His voice just turns me on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
